While doing my semi-regular checking of server logs to see who's coming to my site, I found an interesting URL. It links to Professor Tom Rosengarth's syllabus for BUS 201, a liberal arts class offered at Bridgewater University, a liberal-arts college in Virginia.

One of my blog entries, "Liberal vs. Conservative: What Does It Mean?" was selected as the class's reading for Nov. 6, under the title "Conservative vs. liberal views - one description." The reading was scheduled, aptly, for the Election Day class and placed in Unit Five, "Ethical and Spiritual Growth," along with Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail," an excerpt from The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, and Bible passages from the book of Isaiah, Paul's letters to the Romans and the Corinthians, and the Gospel of Matthew. These readings all dealt with various approaches to ethics, but I think my article's being there just happened to be because Election Day occurred within this particular unit. Still, though, it's good company to be in.

I wrote the class's instructor to see what he thought of the entry, why he selected it (there are certainly better summaries of what it means to be a liberal or a conservative out there), and what his students thought of it. We'll wait and see.
